A mathematical hysteretic model has been developed to analytically reproduce the experimental hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete members. This mode[2, 3] can simulate the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete members with sufficient accuacy, which are characterized by following important hysteretic behaviors: stiffness degradation, strength deterioration and shear effect. In order to illustrate the capabilities of the proposed mathematical model, numerical examples are presented with the reproduction of experimental hysteretic behavior of RC members and frames.

Seismic fragility curves of a structure represent the probability of exceeding the prescribed structural damage state for a given various levels of ground motion intensity such as peak ground acceleration (PGA), spectral acceleration ($S_a$) and spectral displacement ($S_d$). So those are very essential to evaluate the structural seismic performance and seismic risk. The purpose of this paper is to develop seismic fragility curves for PSC box girder bridges. In order to construct numerical fragility curve of bridge structure using nonlinear time history analysis, a set of ground motions corresponding to design spectrum are artificially generated. Assuming a lognormal distribution, the fragility curve is estimated by using the methodology proposed by Shinozuka et al. PGA is simple and generally used parameter in fragility curve as ground motion intensity. However, the PGA has not good relationship with the inelastic structural behavior. So, $S_a$ and $S_d$ with more direct relationship for structural damage are used in fragility analysis as more useful intensity measures instead of PGA. The numerical fragility curves based on nonlinear time history analysis are compared with those obtained from simple method suggested in HAZUS program.

본 논문에서는 2개의 구조물이 마찰댐퍼로 연결된 연결제진구조물에 대한 지진응답해석을 실시하였다. 연결제진구조물의 지진시의 제진효과를 파악하기 위하여 마찰댐퍼의 복원력특성을 완전탄소성형으로 설정하고 두 구조물의 고유주기 및 연결강성의 변화에 따른 각 지진파별 시간이력지진응답해석을 실시하였다. 또한, 응답해석결과를 바탕으로 마찰댐퍼의 특성지표(연결강성배율 $\alpha$, 항복내력비 $\beta$)를 결정하는 제진성능곡선을 제안하였다. 제진성능곡선을 통한 마찰댐퍼의 특성지표에 근거하여 연결제진구조물에 마찰댐퍼를 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 최적의 마찰댐퍼량을 결정 할 수 있는 자료를 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 차세대 마이크로파 유전체 소자로서의 응용을 목적으로 펄스 레이저 방식에 의하여 증착된 MgTiO3 박막의 전기적 특성을 종합적으로 연구 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 MgTiO3 박막의 유전손실 등과 같은 열화를 야기시키는 박막 내부 또는 박막과 기판간의 결함의 특성을 파악하여 열화 메카니즘을 분석하였다. MgTiO3는 마이크로파 영역에서의 우수한 유전특성과 같은 낮은 유전손실을 가지며, 온도 안정성 또한 우수하다. 현재까지 벌크 세라믹 MgTiO3 의 응용 광범위하게 연구되어 왔으나 박막의 제조공정 및 전기적 특성 분석은 미흡한 형편이다. 따라서 벌크 세라믹과는 특성이 상이한 박막의 전기적 특성분석 및 연구가 필요하다. 분석을 위한 소자의 기본 구조로서 Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor(MIS) 구조를 채택하였다. MgTiO3 박막을 증착하기 위한 기판으로는 n형 Si(100)기판과 p형 Si(100)기판을 사용하였고, Si 기판 위에 급속 열처리기 (RTP)를 이용하여 SiO2를 ~100 두께로 성장시킨 것과 성장시키지 않은 것으로 구분하여 제작하였다. MgTiO3 박막은 펄스 레이저 증착 방식(PLD)에 의하여 약 2500 두께로 증착되었으며, 200mTorr 압력의 산소 분위기 하에서 기판의 온도를 40$0^{\circ}C$~55$0^{\circ}C$까지 5$0^{\circ}C$간격으로 변화시키며 제작하였다. 상하부의 전극 금속으로는 Al을 이용하였으며, 열증발 증착기로 증착하였다. 증착된 MgTiO3 박막의 결정구조를 확인하기 위하여 XRD 분석을 수행하였으며, 박막의 전기적 특성을 분석하기 위해 Boonton7200 C-V 측정기와 HP4140P를 이용한 경우에는 C-V 곡선에 이력현상이 나타났으나, MgTiO3/SiO2를 이용한 경우에는 이력현상이 나타나지 않았고, 유전율은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. I-V 측정 결과, 절연층으로 MgTiO3/SiO2를 이용한 경우에는 MgTiO3만을 절연층으로 사용한 경우에 비해 동일한 전계에서 낮은 누설전류 값을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 박막의 증착온도가 증가함에 따라서 C-V 곡선의 위치가 양의 방향으로 이동함을 확인하였다. 위의 현상은 기판의 종류에 관계없이 발생하는 것으로 보아 벌크 또는 계면에 존재하는 결함에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 현재 C-V 곡선의 이동 원인과 I-V 곡선의 누설전류 메카니즘을 분석 중에 있으며 그 결과를 학회에서 발표할 예정이다.

In this study, the seismic fragility curve according to the boundary conditions is created for a two-pylon concrete cable-stayed bridge, and the effect of the boundary conditions on the seismic fragility of the target bridge is evaluated. An analysis model for the target bridge is constructed using Midas Civil, and a nonlinear time history analysis is performed by applying the fiber element, concrete and rebar material models. The boundary conditions between the pylon and the stiffened girder are classified into four types: rigid, unconstrained, pot bearing, and seismic isolation bearing, and the seismic fragility curves are created for each boundary condition. The plastic hinge section of the pylon, the connection part, and the cable are selected as weak members, and the earthquake vulnerability curve is created for them. As a result of the analysis, it is found that the seismic isolation bearing model shows the lowest damage probability in the pylon and the connection part, and the seismic fragility of the cable is less affected by the boundary conditions than other members.

The acceleration levels and durations of seismic inputs for nuclear power plant design are surveyed. Among those inputs, two artificial acceleration time histories with same acceleration level and duration are selected and their characteristics are studied by calculating response spectra and spectrum intensity. The selected time histories which have the duration of 24 sec. satisfy the design response spectra of US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide 1. 60. One of the selected time histories is improved to have the duration of 15 sec. without significant changes in the other characteristics. A case study of a plane model with 3 lumped masses is done using three time histories, i.e, two selected and one improved time histories. It is found that the improved curve gives almost the same results as the original one and reduces the computer time by about half, whereas two selected time histories give the results with same trend but much different magnitudes each other. It is claimed, however, that the improved time history is not the optimal one, but very economical in practical applications.

The damping of a shock absorption device composed of nonlinear disk spring stacks and rubber rings was investigated. Friction forces of rubber rings and hysteresis of disk springs were obtained experimentally. The hysteresis curves of several types of disk spring stacks were approximated, from which the energy dissipated was estimated. Based upon the friction force and the energy dissipated, 4 damping models were presented and shock responses of the damping models were investigated. The hysteresis of disk spring is more meaningful than the friction of the rubber ring for the damping. For practical use, equivalent viscous damping model for total energy dissipated per cycle was suggested.

(La,Sr)CoO3/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3/(La,Sr)CoO3 (LSCO) heterostructures have been grown on LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to investigate asymmetric polarization of Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) thin flims with different electrode configuration. P-V hysteresis loop of LSCO/PZT/LSCO was symmetric. However, LaCoO3 (LCO_/PZT/LSCO showed a largely asymmetric P-V hystersis loop and large relaxation of the remanent polarization at the negatively poled state, which means that the negatively poled state was unstable. On the other hand, LSCO/PZT/LCO exhibited large relaxation of the positively poled state. The asymmetric behavior of the polarized states implies the presence of an interal electric firld inside the PZT layer. It is suggested that internal electric field is caused by built-in voltages at LCO/PZT and LSCO/PZT interfaces. The built-in voltages at LCO/PZT and CSCO/PZT interfaces were 0.6 V and -0.12 V, respectively.
